Biblical Law and Government

Lesson Two - Page 6

It is easy to understand how merchants could steal if they are allowed to change the size of the bushel, gallon or pound. You can see that. What if the serv ice stations could set their pumps to show more gal lons than you received? Or the feed store to set their scales to whatever they wanted? It is easy to see that, under these circumstances, trade and com merce could not function. Exact measurements known and understood by all parties are an absolute necessity for civilized society. God commands exact standards for the pound, gal lon, inch, foot, and so on. Christian government does much to eliminate confusion and keep merchants honest by “fixing the standards of weights and meas ure.” Milk must contain so much butter fat. Ten penny nails are all the same length. All of these are set by law for the good of the people and to establish honesty and stability in business and commerce. But today’s government regulates and “fixes” everything except the value of the dollar. The dollar is the one thing that measures all others. The dollar has its purchasing power controlled by a privately owned banking business deceitfully named “The Federal Reserve.” After 1913 our government no longer con trolled the value of the dollar as called for in the Constitution. These Banking families own or control governments, corporations, radio, T.V. and newspa pers. They make their fortunes in money and credit. In economic areas, they make the rules and they set the measurements. They establish or change inter est rates at will. They control the actual amount of money or credit available to the people and to our government. (More in later lessons.) Their method of control is hidden, secret and unknown to the public. It is a mystery. The Banker’s method makes the modern dollar an unjust balance and a diverse weight. It is a crafty way to rule the world while plundering the producer and enriching the money lender. God said through Amos, “They make the ephah small and the sheckel great and falsify the balances by deceit that they may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes”. How this is done is a mystery. We ____________________

will start to solve the mystery in this lesson.

Now, let’s examine the paper “dollar.” In your pocket you will find a Federal Reserve Note labeled “ONE DOLLAR”. The writing on this document states that it is a “note,” specifically, a Federal Reserve Note. According to Black’s Law Dictionary, for a “note” to be a real “note,” it must meet four qualifications; (1) Identify who is paying; (2) State what is being paid; (3) State who is being paid; and, (4) State when pay ment is made. Some time ago we had Silver Certificates. Below is a sample of the writing on a U.S.Government Silver Certificate. It Identifies: (1) Who is paying --The United States of America; (2) Who is being paid ---The bearer;

(3) It states what is being paid ---Silver; (4) When payment is made --On demand.

In 1913 the Congress gave up their Constitutional mandate to “coin money and regulate the value thereof” according to Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. Private businessmen Isaiah 47:10 KJV (10) For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
